AFFAIRS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
Her Attorney General Denies the
Stories Of Great Destitution.


HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. S.-Hon. j. S. Win
ter, Attorney General, left today for Wash
ington to look after Newfoundland interests
before the Fishery Commission. Besides
free market for its fish, Newfoundland OBJ
tanned 81 100000 under the Halifax award,
and thought that was little enough for the
advantages and privileges afforded American
fishermen in Newfoundland waters. Mr..
Winter was not prepared to say what the
demands of the colony were now, or whether
or not she would expect money considera-
tion in addition TO the trade concessions, but
emphasized the great importance of the
privileges obtained by Americans on the
Newfoundland coasts, which, in his opinion,
were more valuable now than ever before.
In regard to confederation, the Attorney
General. while admitting that it was being
more generally talked about than heretofore
did not regard it as live question of prscti-
cal politics.
While admitting that there was certain
amount of destitution, as there has been for
many years in Newfoundland, he emphati-
cally and Indignantly denied that it had
assumed any such proportions as alleged by
interested parties and papers in st. Johns,
who we've raising TIE cry of "Wolf" in an
endeavor to damage the government He
asserted that the distress this year was
neither as great nor as widespread as it was
last year, and that the catch of fish was
much better, while the general increase in
price had greatly improved the situation and
given very hopeful and buoyant turn to
affairs generally.

DOCTOR cATLINc's NEW GUN.
a Weapon That Would Declmate q
Mob In Two Minutes.

New YORK, Nov. s.-Dr. r. j. Gatling,
the inventor Of the famous gun which bears
his name, has invented another instrument
Of destruction which he calls the ''poliee
gun" 1t is a brass gun, weighing seventy
eight pounds, and is mounted on tripod,
the whole arrangement weighing only 149
pounds. 1t is capable Of firing 1000 shots a
minute.
The general working principle OF the gun
is the same as that Of the gun which bears
DIR. Gatling's name and Is so widely known.
The improvements Is in the method Of feed
ing. In the police gun a magazine, holding
SO cartridges and looking like the hopper OF
a corn-sheller, is set up on end at right
angle on the top of the brass barrel The
turning of the handle by the eannoneer
drops the cartridges into six revolving bar
rels within the cannon.
spring catches each cartridge and small
needle in the lock strikes the percussion cap,
exploding 1t. The next instant an extractor
catches the empty shell, and following
spiral groove, it is dislOdged from the gun.
ready to take its place; As the empty shells
fall in a stream from the Orihce, 1t looks for
all the world like country eOrn-sheller with
the denuded cobs dropping to the floor as the
farm hand turns the crank. BY long lever
the cannoneer can with his left hand change
the range Of the gun, shoot up or down or
sideways, while with the right hand he
turns the crank that puts the stream Of car
tridges in motion.
1--WE can clear the street of a mob and
hOusetops as well, said DIR. Gatling, a peace
ful-lo0king old gentleman, with spectaeles
and snowy beard "The gun will kill
man mile off, though 900 yards is the best
range. We don't want to see our cities over
run by a mob as was Pittsburg. Why, no
man would stand in range Of that gun. II
he did he would be foolish, to say the least

Why Chamberlain Was Made the
British Commissioners.

New YORK, Nov S.-Hon. Charles E.
Coon, ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, who has been in Europe in connection
with financial enterprise, returned Satur-
day. A reporter asked him yesterday :
What is the general feeling in England
toward American"
ut is one of extreme cordiality and friend
illness. A great desire is almost universally
expressed for the speedy settlement of the
fishery dispute"
How do the English look upon Mr.. Jo-
seph Chamberlain's visit here as commits
sioner to settle the fishery dispute"
"The government has simply sent him
here to keep him from playing the
bull in the china shop over there, and break
ing out at some unexpected moment They
cannot count on him. and desire his alb
sence. He is a brilliant, carping fellow,
puffed UP with egotism and inflated with
vanity that is simply amazing. His radical
views are well known. He was the political
creation of Mr.. Gladstone. and now turns
against him. His political gymnastic career
has left him without any following, and not
the slightest Importance is attached to any
OF his sporadic outbreaks. There is scarcely
more selfish man in Parliament. If he
had not been handicapped by his intense sell
fshness, he might have pursued a course
like Harrington and amounted to something.
After his appointment was announced, he
went about getting all the information he
could in relation to the matters to be sub
mitted to the commission, and especially
about the commissioners in America. He
was told by certain American who occu-
pies high public position that, so far as the
American commissioners were concerned,
they might waste months arranging settle-
ment, but the United States Senate would
take view entirely independent, and, per-
haps, refuse to ratify any agreement that
the commissioners might reach. 1t is said
this disturbed the erratic Joe very much,
and he Immediately paid the American min
lister, MIR. Phelps, an unofficial visit, to as

TO Ignore the work of the commission. Mr..
Phelps's diplomacy, it is asserted, was taxed
to its utmost to put things in an agreeable
way to Mr. Chamberlain. After long con-
ference, the latter said he had decided to 90.

matter is, Mr.. Chamberlain has no political
following, with the exception of three sup
porters, and no longer cuts any figure what

What California Mechanics Say of
the Prospects There.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 8.-The Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners Union 56)
has issued a circular letter, under the head
ing "a warning to carpenters and other
mechanics" which says in substance: Of
the numerous methods adopted to boom the
Pacific coast there are none so injurious to
the workingmen as the exaggerated reports
of scarcity of labor and high wages. I'm
fortunately the poor dupe who sacrifices his
little earthly possessions sto enable him to
reach these shores in quest of 'steady work"
and thigh wages" looks in vain for fulfil
ment of these golden promises. Just now
Southern California is being extensively ad-
vertised as the promised land" of the poor.
ill-paid slave of labor. In nearly all the
paragraphs going the rounds of the press
there is such a misrepresentation of facts,
such bare-faced falsehoods in regard to
wages and the demand for labor, that we
have taken upon ourselves to refute them,
and thus save hundreds of families from
ruin.
The greater number of the workingmen
live from hand to mouth. Rents are enOr-
mously high; cottage of four rooms rents
from $25 to $50 month. Coal is SIG ton,
butter 40 cents, eggs 40 cents, and other
things in proportion. The average of wages
is about so cents per day more than Eastern
wages, but the cost of living more than
counterbalances. Out Of door labor can be
pursued for about 10 months in the year; !;
but the man who attempts it is sure to break
down. Tropical climates will not permit an
unceasing round of hard manual labor.
There is gradual and stealthy undermining
process which the victim heeds generally
after it is too late to repair the evil. The El
Dorado of him who has but his two brawny
arms to exc out an existence is not here.
We, your fellow-workmen, know whereof
we speak, therefore heed our warning.

Ihe GRAND Trunk,s Share.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-A conference was held
today between Chairman Blanchard, of the
Central Traffic Association, and Traffic Man
ager Reeve, of the Chicago g. Grand Trunk
Railway, for the purpose of considering the
demand of the latter to be allowed differ
ential rate of four cents per 100 pounds on
export traffic going via Montreal and Po TT
land. Mr.. Blanchard made great effort to
get it into Mr. Reeves head that the demand
was unreasonable and calculated to be a
stumbling block in the successful execution
of the new scheme to charge uniform and
inheXible through rates to European ports
via all seaboard points. But Mr. Reeve
failed to see the matter in that light, and in
sisted that such differential rate via Mon
treal and Portland was necessary to give the
Grand Trunk an ything like fair proportion
of the export traffic. Finally, however, Mr..
Reeves agreed to make the differential three
instead of four cents, with the proviso that
if the Grand Trunk should not succeed in
securing fair proportion of the export
trade via Montreal or Portland, it would
raise the ditferential to four cents.

WAR AMONG THE cHERoKEEs.
Political Struggles Which May Re-

VINITA. Ind. Ter, Oct. s.-The greatest
excitement prevails throughout the Cherokee
nation. 1t is only question Of time when
the Cherokee will be pitted against his
brother in fight that will be short but de-
structive to Indians of this nation, and
which will no doubt result in the opening up
Of the country to the settlement Of the
whites, and the determination of the red
man. The trouble has been brewing for the
last five months, over an election Of a chief
at council.
Monday. Chief Bushyhead's term as chief
expired. H. w. Bell became chief by virtue
being president Of the senate, thHs throwing
for the time being government into the hands
of the Downing's party. Crowds that began
to surround the council chamber at 9O'clOck,
kept growing larger, and hundreds Of excit-
ed Indians were watching the proceedings of
their representatives, ready at any moment
to engage in fight. A whiskey peddler is on
the grounds, Ii whiskey can be kept from
the crowd, order will prevail but II the In
dians are allowed to get ii no power can pre-
vent bloody conflict today.

News Of The Contests in the Other
States.
The General Result Of the Contests
Encouraging to the Republicans.

The returns from yesterdays elections
show large Republican gains in two States
and bring no tidings of any serious loss in
strength.
In Massachusetts, Ames is reelected by
an increased majority, Boston showing
gratifying Republican gain over the vote of
last year. Rhode Island, in the Second Con-
gressional district, returns Republican by
a sweeping majority and assures to the party
majority of the States in the next House
of Representatives.
The dispatches from New York indicate
that the Democratic ticket is probably elect
ed, but the VOTE so far as received, reveals
no great difference from the vote of last
year. The Republicans in New York city
claim that the result is in doubt. The Labor
vote in New York city has fallen off about
one half from that which George received in
his mayoralty campaign. The contest for
the District Attorneyship has resulted in the
defeat of Nicoll by Fellows.
Pennsylvania sends the good news that
the entire State ticket has been elected,
while from Ohio comes the gratifying intel
ligence of Governor Foraker's re. election by
a vote largely in excess of that of year ago.
Iowa is Republican. slight local gain for
the other side, being reported.
The movement for reform in Baltimore
has met with another defeat aud the city is
still in the hands of the Democrats, who al
so, elect their State ticket.
Virginia is Democratic but with Repub-
lican gain in one or two places.
Mississippi, of course, is solid for the
Democracy.
In Oregon, where the people voted upon
three amendments to the constitution, that
securing tho prohibition of the liquor traffic
was defeated by between 1000 and 5000
majority, showing the strength of the Pro-
hibitionists to have been overestimated.
Dakota, also, voted on a prohibition amend
ment and probably adopted it by small
majority, the vote in the small towns over
ccming the license vote in the large towns
and cities. The territory voted for division
by a large majority.
Returns were not received from New Jer-
sey, where a Legislature was elected, and
Nebraska and Louisiana.

GRATIFYING RESULTS.
Hon. Joseph n. Manley Speaks Of the
Effect of the Election.


AUGUSTA, Nov. S.-Hon. j. III. Manley.
chairman of the Republican State Commit
tee, on being interviewed tonight, said:
"The general result of the elections must be
gratifying to the Republicans. In New
York the Republicans fought against odds.
For the first time in the history of this coun-
try, the President Of the United States
threw the whole weight Of his influence into
a local contest, while one of his Cabinet
officers, under the pretence of illness, was
in New York city personally managing the
campaign. A corruption fund never before
paralleled was used to defraud the voters.
The result leaves New York the battle
ground for 'SS, and the vote proves that Mr..
Blaine is stronger in New York than his
party.
"The,result in Massachusetts, is particularly
gratifying because the Boston Globe persist
emily claimed that vote for Ames was
vote for Blaine. 1t made the issue and must
abide the result.
''The reelection of Governor Foraker by an
increased majority will carry joy to every
Republican in the land.
''The triumph in Rhode Island gives the
Republicans majority Of the States in the
next House of Representatives, which is Of
great importance.
Iowa and Nebraska remain firm in their
allegiance to the Republicans.
There is no wavering in any Republican
State and the result shows that the Repub-
lican party has it in its power to carry the
country next year. Thorough organization
will bring victory"

GATHERED AT AUGUSTA.
Scarlet Fever Prevalent-Penobsco
Special Liquor ConstabIes.
lSpecial to the Press !

AUGUSTA, Nov. S.-The Secretary of the
State Board of Health notices an unusually
extensive prevalence of scarlet fever in the
State of late, and advises that even mild
cases be attended to at once, as the disease
is at all times liable to assume a malignant
form.
Hon, j. S. Wheelwright of Bangor, who
heads the petition asking for the appoint
ment OF special constables in that city, says
that the Governor has intimated to him that
he will appoint. The petitioners were ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in finding
suitable men, but they now have two in view
who would make efficient officers. Mr..
Wheelwright thought the movement to sup
press the traffic would meet with strong sup
port in his city. There was no opposition to
constables in any quarter.
